A pair of suspected thieves were arrested after allegedly breaking into a family’s home and stealing their electronics.

Blair Wyrick and Bonita Bailey were monitoring their phone, computer and Xbox accounts after the suspected robbers were using all of them.

Bailey knew something was wrong when the couple pulled into their driveway after a weekend away.

“The first thing we noticed when we opened the garage is that my fiancee's car was gone,” Bailey said.

Inside, they found their house ransacked. Several thousands of dollars worth of electronics and jewelry were gone.

The couple think the thieves were able to climb up and pry open a window into their garage.

The couple called police but did some investigating of their own.

“I calmed down and collected myself for a second and thought, ‘Wait they stole my cellphone. I should be able to find them,’” Wyrick said.

Wyrick tracked down the phone and police arrested Kyntral Watkins the same day.

But they believe Watkins didn’t act alone because someone was still logged into their Xbox account.

“We saw immediately the next day that this guy was using the Xbox,” Bailey said. ‘He played it for two weeks.”

Then someone changed the avatar.

“It was at first, like, infuriating but then also somewhat comical,” Wyrick said.

Police were then led to 19-year-old Kayvon Berry-Smith, who was arrested Thursday in Bellevue.

“We're like Fort Knox,” Bailey said. “You also feel violated once someone has been in your home, especially repeatedly. Knowing that they were in your things and digging around. The biggest thing was getting them caught and having them go to jail.”
